A SMALL VIOLET HOUSE. 



I ha\c a small gre(>nhouso in whi(li 

 I intend to try growing violets. The 

 house is Sxlo feet, an<l five feet six 

 inches to the ridge. Can you tell me 

 of some way to heat it inexpensively.'

The liouse can be readily heated by 

 using tifty scpiarc feet of radiiiting sur- 

 face, but just how the jiipes should be 

 run cannot be definitely told without 

 knowing something of the arr.-ingement 

 of the house. A simple method of piji 

 ing for hot water, which would probably 

 give The best results for so small a 

 house, would be to use one I '^. inch 

 flow pipe on each si<Ie of the house, with 

 two I'o iiudi returns connected to each 

 flow. For the liouse nienticned. a heat- 

 er rated for seventy-five square feet of 

 railiating surface will ite ilesirable.

Would You Save One-Quarter of Your Coal Bill ?

A Kitts Improved Hydraulic Damper Regulator. 



Florist Peter Crow«% Rose Place, Utica, N. Y., voluntaril.v writes:— 



" 1 am vcr.v nuicli pleased to let you know that the Damper Ki-tfulator 1 tioujflit from urn 

 last fall is by far the best ai>paratus for greenhouse purposes, I had my book-keeper coiiii.iiv 

 my coal bill of last with that of this year and I find a siuvinj? of one Quarter tlie anioiiM .if 

 this year's coal over last year's; also the past winter was a great deal colder and longer tlui" 

 the winter liefore. 



" There is another very good feature al)Oiit the Damper Regulator, as it keeps a unit, rin 

 heat in all the houses at all times by putting on and shutting olV pit)es. .And 1 find that :r,y 

 tioses and Ferns did far better this winter than any winter so far, as the temperature Wii~ ~o 

 uniform at all times. 



" My reason for writing you is to let you know, and also to thank you for bringing niv 

 attention to the Regulator, and I assure you I cannot speak too highly of this machine." 



Are not facts like these worth an 

 investigation?
